XWiki adopts an open source strategy for its solutions. The big open source discussions usually take place on the mailing lists, which are the main communication channels for the XWiki community.
Types of Mailing Lists
There are three mailing lists you can post to:
- users AT xwiki.org: For questions about using XWiki, suggestions for improvements, ideas, etc.
- devs AT xwiki.org: For the XWiki development itself.
- notifications AT xwiki.org: All SVN commits diff, JIRA issues and Continuous Build failures are sent to this list. XWiki developers must be subscribed to this list to follow what's going on.
Before sending mails to any of the lists mentioned above you'll need to subscribe. To learn more about the dynamics of an open source mailing list you can read these tips.
Forum
The XWiki mailing lists can can be also accessed as a forum by using Nabble in Embedded mode or Gmane.
Archives

IRC
In XWiki all major decisions are taken on the mailing lists. However, if you have a question or prefer to chat, you can join the XWiki IRC channel. The chat rooms are publicly logged. You can find the XWiki chat archives on this page.
